911= Anger Management?

We had a call a few days ago at a convalescent home for a woman with an altered level of consciousness. When we arrived we found the patient relaxing in her bed watching TV. We asked her if there was anything wring and she said no. She wanted to know who called us so we went and got the "nurse" (I use this term loosely since the quality of tends to drop quite a bit in facilities like this) . The RN told us that she called because the patient wasn't acting normal. We probed further to find out that the patient was just grumpy so she called the paramedics. The patient ended up going to the hospital just so that she could get away from the staff at her home.
